Reconfigured Tesla coil electrifies materials
In a development that could set a clear path toward scalable assembly of nanotubes from the bottom up, Rice University researchers have discovered that the strong force field emitted by a Tesla coil causes carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into long wires, a phenomenon they call Teslaphoresis.
Rice chemist Paul Cherukuri led the team that develo... » read more
